No, but even if I did it wouldn’t matter. In gw2, you pay and get stuff in return. In sub based games you pay just to be able to keep playing. Big difference.
You get what you pay for in GW2. In sub based games, you pay and you get much better, bigger updates than you would get in GW2. Not to mention in sub-based mmo’s, you also get new armor released practically every week. I don’t pay for armor skins in Guild Wars 2, I don’t get armor skins. I pay for everything in sub-based games, and new things aren’t withheld from me like in GW2.
Guild Wars 1 disagrees with you. Anet could easily give use large and epic expansions (like with gw1) but instead they decided to go with Living Story. This is a (bad) design decision, not a shortcoming of B2P games.

From what I can tell it’s a lot like our own, though it’s not like i’ve delved deeply into asura sexuality here.
Just at a passing glance it looks roughly the same. Asura finds person, they fall in love, make love, have a kid if applicable, and keep living their lives.
As for the thing about asura being attracted to anyone of any gender, I would imagine that’s a lot like us too. Some are, some arnt. I have not personally seen a gay asura couple (get on that anet), but theres nothing to say if that’s normal, accepted, uncommon, taboo, or even if asuras have multiple partners at one time of both male and female.
I have, however, seen a lesbian asura. She’s somewhere in Rata Sum, complaining that her wife/mate wants her to be home on time for dinner.
Or something like that, I would have to find and see that conversation again.

I rather have Scarlet destroying the Thaumanova lore (which is extremely insignificant compared to abbadon) than Abbadons lore.
Seriously, had Evon won I have no doubt Anet would do something like letting Scarlet travel back in time and kill abbadon (LATER TATER!)
Of course a battle of the gods is a lot more interesting than a Chernobyl disaster, but I’m sure the fractal would have turned out horrible. They would shove Scarlet in there one way or another.

I really like to know this because everyday people with names that aren’t even that bad get reported and a forced name change. For example, there was a guy named bullshift instead of.. well you know. I refuse to believe someone actually got offended by that name.
I’m convinced some people just take pleasure out of reporting others.

Humans survived because they are good at hiding behind walls.
Bring them outside and you have a graveyard.
Whatever it takes to survive. It’s an excellent strategy, the only reason it didn’t work in Ascalon was because the Titans gave the charr a magic nuke.
In the end, brave soldiers are a city’s strongest tower of defense. Ascalonian were cowards and weak, so they lost.
Humans being dangerous? Hardly.
hahaha.
A weapon from the Titans (not the charr) destroyed the Ascalonian wall
The Charr destroyed the ravaged land that was left (And they couldn’t even do that because of the Foefire).
And after that, All their might couldn’t even destroy Fort Ebonhawke.

I wish normal female asura doesn’t have ugly voice. :’(.
The female asura player character has an amazing voice!!
It’s so cute
I don’t know. Female Asura are cute and filled with awesomeness,except their voice over. :’(
I have a female Asura that i want to create but after hear their voice over, i just turn them off.
It’s a shame you don’t like it. I personally think Colleen O’Shaughnessey (the voice actor) did an amazing job.

Do all of the people claiming that they or their “friends” skinned over existing t3 cultural with flamekissed realize that you’re actually undermining their own attempts to keep your welfare cultural armor?
You’re telling me that welfare cultural is so vastly superior to T3 cultural, that you effectively deleted the 119g you spent on the skin and the 30g you spent on transmutation crystals to put it on exotics, because you thought you would never again want to wear the vastly inferior T3. Think about that for a second… well, maybe a lot of seconds with this crowd.
It doesn’t undermine it at all. What they paid for it is irrelevant. How it compares to anything else and what it costs is irrelevant. They purchased it legitimately. They have more right to keep it by any moral standard than the people that complained had to take it away from them. They deserve to keep what they have whether they paid 1 gold , a hundred gold or a thousand gold.
Except for the fact that the human skin is exclusive which this armor was based off so no, I don’t see your point or how some gem skin outweighs an entire race’s cultural armor. I think they should get a hefty refund and it sucks it happened but they should not get to keep a skin that was never, ever supposed to be used by other races.
By this argument the medium should be removed as well. While not a racial exclusive, it is exclusive in its location and its acquisition.
It’s not the same at all, since every race can get it. No matter what race I play, I will always be able to get those armors.
A slippery slope argument if I ever saw one.
The whole thing is a slippery slope, but that’s beside the point. The argument stands. The medium skin is “exclusive” to WvW, and can only be paid for in Badges of Honor. If you’re going to base your argument purely on exclusivity, then it it has to be applied all the way around. Exclusive to race, exclusive to area, still exclusive.
The argument is still invalid.
Exclusive to race means some people can never get it. (unless you actually think people will change races over this)
Exclusive to wvw means everyone can get it, but in other ways. I have over 2000 badges of honor from AP rewards alone (I never play wvw/pvp). I can easily buy it, regardless of race.
There’s a big difference between exclusive for a race, and exclusive to area (an area everyone can visit no less)
Anyone can roll a human toon as well… argument stands.
Rerolling and levelling a completely new toon = teleporting to wvw for a few minutes.
yea right.
Argument still invalid.

Creating an ultra rare armor set only available to the few thousand who bought it before being pulled from the TP does not seem the most fair or solve the issue of human cultural being made available to other races for 1/3 the price.
ANet goofed. Flamekissed is getting nerf. It happens.
Ok lets say they change looks for those who bought it. If I dont like it, I want my armor back in same state as it was on the day I applied your skin. I have even transmuted some norn cultural and other (already transmuted) armors. We will end up losing 50+ gold and some skins for supporting this game and purchasing in shop.
Wanting your armor back just the way it was is a reasonable demand and I support you. Anet should not only refund 800 gems if you are unsatisfied with the new design, but also give you back the skins that you had on your armor before purchasing flamekissed.
Exactly, this is the ONLY solution that will work. Gem refunds will do nothing if you hate the new look, especially for the few players that transmuted their existing T3 (I am not one of them, but putting myself into their place, that would be an horrible mistake, and judging from another post, support only promised gems to a player that had such a problem.)
Yes I agree that giving the skin back you had before you applied Flamekissed is a perfectly reasonable solution.
I am starting to think positive of a complete server rollback. We had it before when cultural armor went to other races and it would obviously please people that made characters just for an armour.
That will suck for people who got a precursor in the last 24 hours :P

I say the folks who got the skin removed now need to compensate those completely kittened by it’s removal if said people do NOT like the new flamekissed skin. It’s only fair – I’ve heard complaint after complaint of how 800 gem armor made their work for 120 gold worthless and read countless threads about “doing the math”.
Well, your complaints cost some people 120 gold or more. No, not everyone knew that was T3 armor and “controversial” – I didn’t realize until I came to the forums. I held off buying because of the very vocal crap on the forums. Others? Not so lucky. So now, I know of five people completely kittened because they bought exotic armor, earned the gold to buy human T3 light, transmuted it for the skin and then transmuted it to flamekissed yesterday… and now Anet won’t fix that. Is it their fault? Do they deserve to be out that gold and have to earn it all over again?
Please tell me how much gold all of you complaining lost out on because flamekissed existed for 24 hours.
THANK YOU!!!
This, this, this!!!!
-sigh-
Something that existed for over a year > something that existed just for a day.
I also like how you think this is somehow our fault, while it’s clearly Anet who made the mistake.

Why should humans only retain the right to keep the skin when in fact they are the ones who complained about it’s existence in the first place? Hypocrite much.
It’s either that, or all cultural armor should be available to everyone. Anet is probably not going to do the latter.
On a completely different note, I find it quite ironic that everyone who liked flamekissed keeps saying things like “anet giving in to the whiners” while they are in fact whining themselves.
And I like how these same people are acting as if there were only 10 of those “whiners” while it was one of the biggest outrages on this forum and also over 1000 (probably over 2000 combining all threads) upvotes on GW2 reddit all against the armor being added in the store. This is what the community wanted not just a couple of whiners. The whiners are coming out now, trying to make it feel like it wasn’t a big deal.
It was a huge deal to those who did get the skin, or those who wanted to. Even if we’re in the minority this time, we’ve as much right to voice our complaints about it being removed as you have to support it’s removal.
They have the right to complain as much as they want. They do not, however, have the right to call us whiners.

I have always been one to speak my mind when it comes to this game. I wanted to say thank you for doing the right thing. Reversing the Tier 3 flame touched armor was the right thing to do.
Hopefully this is something the company has learned from much the same way blizzard learned the hard way that wiping warlock pets names was a very bad idea.
If you say so..
It was the absolute worst thing Anet could do (cause it basicalyl solved nothing, it created only a new problem on the other side of the coin), but clearly in the mind of someone selfish, it naturally must be the “right thing”
pfffff
It’s pretty objective that removal is the right thing to do. Keeping it impacts past players long term accomplishments. Removing would revert those who bought it to what they were barely 24hrs ago.
That just means whatever story you went through with your friends doesn’t actually apply to you since it isn’t your own personal story. Hence, “It was all jsut a dream”.
Well, 80% of the personal story isn’t actually your own personal story, so there’s that.

The people saying Scarlet would be in the Abaddon fractal are just pulling outlandish justification for the complete disappointment that is the reactor.
Just admit it. You made the wrong choice.
Nope. When do people finally understand normal logic doesn’t apply in video games? Especially when you are dealing with a villain that defies all laws of physics and reason.
She could have just travelled back through time and killed abaddon. That would have been ridiculous, but it’s a very real possibility.

Honestly there’s a very simple reason I voted Kiel, and it has nothing to do with who I liked more:
The amount of crazy “Omg omg omg Abaddon, GW1 iz liek best garme ev0r, vote Evon nubbs, kitten Kiel”-posts on the forums kitten ed me off.
GW1 wasn’t the rose-tinted version you now remember. Abaddon was a weak lore element. In fact, humans are – as always – a rather boring race in this MMO, and it’s predecessor suffered from being locked into them.
I didn’t dislike Evon.
I dislike you, the slobbering GW1 fanboi!

The only reason humans are doing so bad is because Arenanet wanted to make it more fair for the other races. In guild wars 1 you could only play humans, but now we can play 4 more races so Arenanet wanted to even the score.
Face it people, humans are not doing so bad because they are weaker. They are the victim of the greatest nerf ever inflicted on a game in mmo history.

Arenanet made many statements/promises that never made it into the game. Remember when they said dyes would be account wide?
This qoute doesn’t mean anything. A level increase would be absolutely catastrophic. I would have to buy everything all over again and buy tons of transmutation stones to keep my skins (I have a lot of alts).
I know they need to make money, but there is such a thing as overkill.
That would keep you busy and logging in every day and more likely to spend gem’s…it’s a win win for them.
it’s all about the money, money, money…
I think NCSoft is pushing for higher sales, WildStar ditching b2p and going sub makes me think it isn’t as successful as it’s made out to be
If it’s all about money they should have added a sub fee to gw2. The level cap should NEVER be increased, it will be an absolute nightmare for people who have lots of alts.

Since Cultural Armor exclusivity has been officially thrown out of the window now (Human T3 light on the gemstore) can you please make all cultural armor available to everyone? It won’t be lore breaking or anything, considering Councillor Flax (asura) has been wearing human t3 light since launch.
